Over the next few months…

Over the next few months, i will be transitioning from the non-profit, volunteer teaching of dancing with integrity sessions, to starting a little business under a new name.

This change means that i will be able to offer many classes each week around town, starting in October.

If you know of a group or venue that might be interested in a weekly class in the Fall or 2014 – e.g. dance improvisation for fun & fitness, dancing while sitting for older adults, creative dance as self-care, or a theme tailored to your group – please be in touch. Thank you!

Happy Solstice to those who celebrate it, and warm wishes to everyone for an excellent summer!

Interested in dance-improv while sitting?

Are you – or someone you know – interested in dance-improv while sitting classes this Spring? The activities would be similar to the community classes at Heart and Hands (click here for a description), and everyone would be doing the improvisation activities while sitting or lying.

If you’re interested, please be in touch. I’m compiling an interest list, and would love to meet up for tea if anyone would like to brainstorm about it. Many thanks to Leslie for the suggestions!

Also, am seeking suggestions of a welcoming, mobility-accessible location for this that has comfy chairs available (ideally options of sturdy upright ones, exercise balls, and mats for if anyone is more comfortable lying than sitting) – perhaps a community centre with cheap rent.
